The Cowl, a stage magician turned crime-fighter with a secret history with one of the characters presented in our bad guy series, Misfits & Menaces: Mixed Villains.

Older brother of two of CORE’s most notorious minions (see Better Mousetrap, also by Misfit Studios), Damocles, Master of Blades has come out of retirement to undo his siblings’ evils.

First alluded to in A.E.G.I.S.’ entry in Misfits & Menaces: Mixed Villains, the group of escaped mutant dogs known as the Pack looks to remain free while righting wrongs along the way. This rag-tag bunch is led by the charismatic Alpha, with the tracker, Bloodhound, acting as his right hand, who often finds himself trying to reel in the youthful enthusiasm of the siblings, Hotdog and Howl, and Maul’s bloodlust.

Another of A.E.G.I.S.’ experiments, Starbound is a powerful, space-faring hero who seeks solitude in order to keep the innocent safe from his frightening secret.

Despite his youth, Warlock has been charged with protecting Earth from all manner of arcane threats and plots.

Simple suggestions on how to reduce characters built with more than 150 PP down to that level so they may be used as introductory characters without compromising the character’s concept.

This hyperlinked and bookmarked PDF includes a print-friendly version and makes use of game mechanics appearing in Better Mousetrap and Misfits & Menaces: DOOM, also available from Misfit Studios.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
